[The feed clicks on and the camera's fumbled with for a moment or so before it points at Peter, who looks tired, a little worse for wear and pretty covered in mud.]

Hey, so, um- [He wipes a hand over his face, smearing more mud over his eye.]

I just spent a couple hours in a swamp trying to find some stuff for a guy in town? And there are giant spiders in there. Like, seriously, they're huge, they can talk, and they're definitely not friendly, as in they definitely tried to eat me. So, uh, be careful.

[And that said, he is letting out a sort of tired sigh and managing a somewhat self depreciating smile.] Is there like, a shower or anything in town so I can hose some of this stuff off me?

[Open Spam for Town]

[After dropping off the supplies with the man who'd asked for his help - with a word about how hey, maybe you could've said something about the giant, man eating spiders in the swamp, thanks buddy - Peter is wandering about town looking for something else to occupy his time with. Honestly, now that the immediate danger's out of the way - and even then, the adrenaline rush that came along with that kind of thing he'd kind of. Missed. Which was maybe a little pathetic - he's back in that state where this is all pretty cool, because just like every other nerdy kid, he grew up reading Tolkien and Narnia and all that, and this was pretty much everything he'd sort of fantasized about when he was younger.

So he pretty much can be found anywhere, watching people work, asking questions about the town and what lies beyond it, and he's really not against the idea of picking up some other little job to do or something, just to keep busy. Might as well, right?]

[ooc: If anyone wants to spam swamp adventures, or borrow Peter for a quest or anything, I am totally up for it. c:]

Gross.

Yeah, tell me about it.

But hey, I mean. It's not a sewer. Could've been worse.

You're definitely going to fall into a sewer now that you've said that.

Been there, done that.

Are you serious?

Apparently it's a good lair for scientists-turned-giant-lizards.

I'm pretty sure your scientist-turned-giant-lizard was very wrong about that.

[Jean's hair is a mess, twined with twigs and leaves, and there's dirt smudged on her face. Her grin, though, is the most genuine it's been in weeks.]

I swear, if I never climb inside one of those again. That smell takes forever to get out.

And the rats! Can't forget the rats.

See, I was expecting rats? And then there were just lizards. Go figure.

[Her nose scrunches.] Giant lizards?

Giant spiders.

Like, the size of a Honda Accord giant.

That is not the sort of reaction you have to giant spiders the size of a car.

Your tone of voice indicates an inconvenience, a light misunderstanding coupled with mutual respect.

But it's giant spiders!

[This is how he copes, don't judge Ned. B(]

Hey, look, it could have been worse. Didn't you play any D&D when you were a kid?

Some would argue there is a huge, huge difference between rolling a die on a piece of cardboard and having all your blood sucked out by hairy mandibles the size of a kitchen knife.

Well, sure, but I mean, giant spiders are kinda a cakewalk compared to some of the other monsters, right?

What other monsters.

Oh my god, eww. Thanks for the warning, I so won't be going anywhere near there.

No problem.

You look foul. [But man he is amused.]

That's what happens when you spend a couple hours in a swamp running away from giant spiders.

You'd think they would have sensed a kindred spirit.

Spiders do eat other spiders sometimes, you know.

It's the circle of life.

If you're gonna start singing, fair warning, I'm going to save this recording and get it on YouTube as soon as possible.
